The higher you engage the toggle the more power the switch delivers to the light fixture. It looks like a regular toggle light switch but it has that dimming feature built in.

The dimmer with the circular cover cap over a pin does not last too long. The round circular plastic cover where the round plastic cover attaches to the pin which attaches to the dimmer box inside the wall. There is a lot of wear and tear at a light switch,... the toggle design is far more durable and it looks sleek.
